About River Valley Jack Russell Terriers

Welcome to River Valley Jack Russell Terriers! We are a small family kennel located in Belle Plaine, Minnesota, dedicated to raising happy, healthy, and well-socialized Jack Russell Terriers. Our dogs are more than just pets; they are part of our family.

Our story

Our journey with Jack Russell Terriers began with a simple desire: to bring the joy of a smaller breed, colorful, energetic, friendly, family pet and puppies into our lives. We fell in love with their playful personalities and intelligence. This love inspired us to start River Valley Jack Russell Terriers, where we focus on breeding dogs with wonderful temperaments and striking appearances. We emphasize early socialization and interaction with animals to ensure our puppies are well-adjusted and ready to become loving companions.

Breeding philosophy

At River Valley Jack Russell Terriers, we are committed to responsible breeding practices. Our primary goal is to produce healthy puppies free from genetic defects, with kid-friendly temperaments. We carefully selected our breeding dogs based on size, color, alertness, and intelligence, striving to maintain and improve the breed standard.

Important considerations

Jack Russell Terriers are very active dogs and need exercise, time, and commitment. They are also very trainable with time and patience. Before bringing one of our puppies home, please consider whether you can provide the active lifestyle and consistent training that this breed requires.
